All of this is quite a departure from the rote anti-gun mindset of Maryland's Democratic Party establishment, which has never come across a new gun-control law it wasn't ready to support. That includes Mr. Ehrlich's opponent in the Maryland governor's race — liberal Democrat and Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. Last week, a Townsend spokeswoman told The Washington Post that Mr. Ehrlich's idea of [u]insisting that gun-control laws should curb crime "defies common sense."[/u] The always-unctuous Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence added: "He's always looking to roll things back, which is absolutely the NRA's agenda" and trotted out the all-purpose "extremist" smear. The Brady Campaign plans to spend more than $250,000 on commercials portraying middle-of-the-road Mr. Ehrlich as being in the pocket of the so-called gun lobby.
